Your choice of solicitor is one of the most important decisions you will make. White collar crime defence requires a unique combination of legal expertise, strategic thinking, and absolute discretion.

We collaborate with Ireland's leading forensic accountants, digital experts, and financial analysts. Our panel of specialist Senior and Junior Counsel ensures you have the best possible advocate in court.
We understand the reputational stakes for professionals. All communications are protected by legal privilege. We provide strategic advice on managing stakeholders and, if necessary, coordinating with PR firms to protect your reputation.

Clear answers to the most common concerns from our white collar crime clients.
Do not say anything, agree to a meeting, or provide any documents. State politely that you must seek legal advice before responding. Call our office immediately at 01 677 9408 or our emergency line at 087 122 3080.
Anything you say can be used against you. Early legal strategy is critical. We can engage with investigators on your behalf and protect your rights from the outset.
These investigations are notoriously lengthy, often taking many months or even years. This is due to the volume of financial data, digital evidence, and the number of witnesses involved.
The extended timeframe makes having an experienced legal team essential to manage the process, protect your interests, and maintain your wellbeing throughout the investigation.
Early representation is the single most effective way to protect your interests. We can intervene before you are formally interviewed, manage searches to protect legally privileged documents, and begin negotiations with investigators.
Often, we can prevent charges from being filed at all by challenging the legal basis of the investigation and protecting your constitutional rights from day one.
Yes, absolutely. For professionals like accountants, solicitors, financial advisors, or medical practitioners, a conviction (and sometimes even just a charge) can trigger a 'fitness to practise' or disciplinary inquiry from your professional body.
This could lead to suspension or being struck off. We advise on managing these parallel proceedings to protect your career.
Seized assets (money, property, vehicles) are typically held by the State under freezing orders until the case concludes. This can include Restraint Orders or Proceeds of Crime orders from CAB.
We can bring applications to the High Court to challenge these orders or seek the release of funds for legal fees and reasonable living expenses.
Discretion is paramount. We manage all communications with investigators to ensure confidentiality. We also advise on your obligations to inform stakeholders (like a board or investors).
Where necessary, we can coordinate with specialist public relations firms to manage any potential media interest and protect your professional reputation.
Cooperation is a complex strategic decision that should only be made after consulting with your solicitor.
While cooperation can be a mitigating factor and is sometimes part of a negotiated strategy, it does not guarantee charges will be dropped. Never cooperate without legal advice - anything you say can be used against you.
If you or your company are facing a financial investigation, an accusation of fraud, or a query from a regulatory body, your next step is critical. Contacting an experienced white collar crime solicitor is essential to protect your rights, your reputation, and your liberty.
